When we last left ECM and her evil identical twin Christina Shane, ECM was stranded on a deserted island torn between two men Tony and Eric. Meanwhile back in Green Valley, in ECM's kitchen, Christina Shane was having a minor breakdown but what she didn't know is that someone was watching her from the window. Suddenly there was a knock at the door. {cue ominous music}Christina Shane gasped. "Who could that be on this dark and stormy night?" she thought as she rapidly tidied herself up to go answer the door."Michelle!"

"Hello Mom. Did you forget about me? Wait, that's right, Aunt Christina you didn't forget because you didn't know I was in town, did you?"

"Michelle, I won't lie. It's me, your Auntie Christina. I thought your mom sent you to reform school after that unfortunate incident."

"She did, Aunt Michelle but I had this feeling that you were up to something. Mom told me to trust those instincts when its about you because she said you and I share a special bond.""Dear God! She didn't tell you, did she?""Tell me what, Aunt Christina?" Michelle eyes narrowed suspiciously."Come in out of the rain. I'll make you your favorite sweet potato latkes, we need to talk."Where is ECM? What special bond do Michelle and her Aunt Christine Shane share? Why was Michelle sent to reform school?Stay tuned, all these questions and more will be answered on the next episode of "As The Potato Peels"Sweet Potato Latkes:6 medium sized sweet potatoes2 eggs1 tsp. salt2 tbs. flour1/4 tsp. baking powder1 small yellow onion1 small granny smith apple
